Well, we are real close to purchasing the HS Vangurard. I am however, disappointed in the color choices, actually, the lack of. We are considering the "Pearl". I am concerned about it showing rings marks though. Also this is a new color/product for HS I guess. We have well water with no water softener. Our water is somewhat on the hard side but not unbearibly bad. With this be worth it or should we go with the blue or green granite looking stuff(which my husband hates). I don't particularly need any extra headaches. Any help from anyone who knows about this product and color will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The pearl finish will dull over time if it is not waxed. It will also scratch very easily. I would suggest that if you buy a hot springs to get the endurall finish

Looked at same finish. My suggestion is go for the pearl. It will look way better at night with the colored lights! ;D   actually when I spoke to HS dealer about scratches he advised that the new pearl color goes all the way through product and is not just a surface color. So if need be can be sanded down instead of trying to mix a color to match the existing. I was worried about water rings as well but the one in showroom didn't seem to show any and the dealer said he had same one at home with no problems. (I was talking to him about ordering one so choice of color wasn't an issue. I don't see any incentive for dealer not to be truthful on color since I wasn't taking one in stock. ) The lighter colors do look better with the lights!  
     My only complaint is do you want to give up a corner seat for the filtration unit? I didn't!

In my experience as a person who until recently sold HotSpring Spas, I would agree that the Pearl color looks really sharp in the showroom. The Pearl color also reflects the lighting more effectively at night. It will be a little more work to keep it looking sharp though because the water spots will be more noticeable, but it's a quick wipe with a sponge or towel. I have never heard of having to "wax" the Pearl surface to keep it from looking dull, I think that advice is incorrect. I had several clients who got scatches in the material. It is quite easy to repair by sanding it down. Watkins, the manufacturer of HotSprings has step-by-step instructions on how to repair the surface if it gets scratched, but I would get the dealer to commit (in writing) to come out and repair it the first time so that you can see how it's done. The Pearl finish has been very popular for HotSprings since it was introduced last year and my clients who decided to go with it have been very happy with their decision. Hope this info helps.

The Pearl looks great at night. Windex will work well to keep it clean.
